Comments on the packaging
The strawberry !
This is an aroma that will have posed a problem for the best flavourists, like chocolate and other curses. Candy strawberries, chewing-gum strawberries, sour strawberries, too-sweet strawberries, sluggish strawberries… all the stars of the vape have worked hard on the subject and very few are the frank successes in the field.
I'm not talking about the many pastries or ice creams or other fruit cocktails that contain it. That, in general, we know how to do. I'm talking about the simple strawberry, all bare and stripped of artifice, which seems to be the ultimate Arlesian of the vape.
D'Lice has in its thick catalog a strawberry well known to beginners and which has enabled many of them to quit smoking. You will find it elsewhere HERE in 10 ml, available in 0, 3, 6, 12 and 18 mg/ml of nicotine on an 80/20 ratio of PG/VG. It is therefore not surprising to see it come back to an XL range which incorporates the most beautiful successes of the historic manufacturer in large format on a 50/50 ratio.
The XL range, since that's what it's all about, is a collection of ready-to-boost offering 50 ml of overdosed aroma in a container that can hold 70 ml of ready-to-vape depending on whether you add 10 or 20 ml nicotine base or not. This will allow you to oscillate between 0 and almost 6 mg/ml of nicotine as a result, depending on your choice.
Available at 19.90 € on the manufacturer's website or in all the good physical or online shops, it is already a potential best-seller by now accompanying confirmed vapers using low nicotine levels and needing to "kiffer life” by vaping greedily, in all taste categories. A range that offered us many excellent surprises!
Today, it will therefore be necessary to see if the well-known strawberry from D'Lice will have completed its moult and will be revealed transformed in this new packaging and vegetable glycerin level.

Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects
As much to say it clearly, it is more than perfect. Not only does the product display full compliance with all regulations, which is the union minimum, but in addition each e-liquid from D'Lice has been AFNOR certified, enough to be completely confident. Here, we vape healthy, it is known and it shows!
The manufacturer, completely transparent, announces the presence of furaneol, which does not seem abnormal since it is an organic compound present naturally in strawberries and other fruits. But as it is a potential allergen, you are warned: if you are allergic to strawberries, do not vape!
Appreciation of the packaging
- Does the graphic design of the label and the product name agree ?: Yes
- Global correspondence of the packaging with the product name: Yes
- The packaging effort made is in line with the price category: Could do better for the price
Vapelier's note regarding packaging with regard to juice category: 4.17 / 5 
Comments on the packaging
Like the other references in the XL range, our Strawberry of the day displays the same sobriety in design.
It is very clear, transparent even at the informative level and that is what is essential in any case. It just lacks a bit of whimsy or inspired draughtsmanship to, while remaining TPD compliant, just look a bit sexier and less pharmaceutical.

Vapelier's note on the sensory experience: 3.75/5
Comments on the taste of the juice
Is this liquid pleasant to vape? Yes.
Is this liquid credible to initiate a beginner fruit lover? Yes.
Does this liquid look like a natural strawberry? No.
The smell is more like a chewy confectionery than a fruit. Even if the scent of the strawberry flavor is dominant and will bring anyone back to analyze the flavor in this way, there is however this chemical aspect inseparable from the chewing gum which points the tip of its nose.
Taste is identical. We find with a certain regressive pleasure a well-calibrated and quite greedy strawberry bubble gum. For those looking for something closer to their favorite fruit, they will miss the tangy, textured aspect, the freshness of the flesh and all those little things that make all the difference between nature and the hand of man.
Fans will find the strawberry they love in flavored yoghurts. It's already good but unfortunately we are not on a liquid cultivating realism.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting
The good news is that the Strawberry from D'Lice easily passes the test of switching to a more generous VG ratio. More abundant steam, accentuated sweetness, our liquid is completely compatible with steam locomotive atomizers, as well as with the wisest MTL clearos.
The liquid will easily vape all-day, like a light confectionery and is even credible when accompanying vanilla ice cream.
To be vaped warm rather than hot in order to preserve its taste integrity. Its aromatic power is notable and will satisfy those who add 20 ml to the present aroma.
Recommended Moments
- Recommended times of the day: Morning, All afternoon during everyone's activities, End of the evening with or without herbal tea, Night for insomniacs
- Can this juice be recommended as an all-day vape: Yes
Overall average (excluding packaging) of the Vapelier for this juice: 4.17 / 5 
My mood ticket on this juice
It is not a question here of throwing the anathema on an e-liquid which, moreover, is very pleasant to vape and corresponds perfectly to an initiation liquid, and it is very important, to introduce primo - buyers in the vape by something other than tobacco.
On the other hand, the Strawberry will struggle to seduce lovers of realistic fruitiness, in particular in this large format rather reserved for the confirmed.
The aromatic equation seems very difficult to solve but D'Lice has all the assets in hand and the experience necessary to take up the challenge and succeed in the insoluble. It has proven it time and time again in this more than successful XL range. Maybe a simple name change would suffice because, as strawberry bubble gum, it might be found very believable!
